From 5 April 2011 the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust is making some significant changes to its guidelines for support to organisations working on the development of a just and peaceful society in Ireland. Applications from most organisations in the Republic of Ireland will no longer be accepted.

- Encouraging and enabling marginalised groups to play a full part in the political process and in civil society;
